£1.2m claim over duck farm cannabis factory

DLA Piper’s work on behalf of the Clydesdale Bank on a £1.2 million claim for possession of a duck farm, which had housed one of the UK’s largest cannabis factories, was one of the more unusual cases involving the firm’s top ranked banking litigation team.

The team, which splits its operations between Sheffield and Leeds, is praised by clients interviewed by the Legal 500 for providing “excellent coverage of various types of finance disputes.”

It is also one of three to gain a place in the top ranking and the sole Sheffield representative.
